wow, that's 3x for O'Keeffe and twice this year for Amashukeli and Piardi then

we've had Barnes and Nigel a lot before, but quite a few in one year here.

feels weird with an absence of french and saffa refs at the top level rn

Hip drop tackles are scary.
yeah. don't know how it's new - wonder if it was simply not picked up in previous decades or a change in how the game is being played
also fine margins though? Jordie's headbutt assist for the try bounces differently it's a different game. Tane's conversion goes over?

no way did we deserve to win but, yeah, odd
this was the foul play (croc roll? as I said fuck knows given zero comms) at like 76' against gold ftr
wow only 10 penalties conceded. improvement there at least.

handling good, big blemish Frost's restart drop. two (at least one) passes given away to kiwis in the attacking line (legally!), lineout obviously. yellows and lineouts probably the difference

not far off but mm
that was an odd game.

though my glasses are very much coloured tonight, had to retreat from the pub that promised sound but did not provide
legitimately can't be that hard to make illegal, it's been years since made foul play in league
quite. (not trying for a gotcha here, just bizarre how behind the NRL we are) bsky.app/profile/ther...
ffs man.

presumably TMO too busy catching up on missed knock-ons, and reversing knock-on calls to catch this, because this is at least a penalty. at worst a yellow for this hip drop by Cheslin Kolbe on J'OC

no wonder his kicking was off #RSAvAUS
Yo @therugbyfanshaz.bsky.social watching back now. I know it's a term from the other code, but has anyone mentioned the blatant hip drop that injured JOC?

James Slipper - well that was quite emotional to see. To plug away so long, in this Australian era, on both sides of the scrum without complaint

I'm fine with the penalty (piss off Seanny) but can we at least have the ref tell us what's going on?

seriously man that isn't hard we've been doing it all game, beautiful on the PA and everything #AUSvNZL
I wouldn't go for the corner here, but this would be a knock-out blow #AUSvNZL
gee Fraser didn't look happy on his leg/knee a few minutes ago, before going off just now #AUSvNZL
that is the weirdest not releasing call I've ever seen. you get to place the ball 5 seconds after you're tackled but you can't keep hold of it for 3 while the contest is textbook above you?

it's a fair contest, play on man #AUSvNZL
oh man that was close to going over 🫣#AUSvNZL
well that's a penalty minimum against DMac on replay clear shoulder to Ikitau's chin #AUSvNZL

Harry Potter le livre est sorti à Londres en juin 1997, Harry Potter le joueur est né à Londres en décembre 1997.
ok vindicated. what is going on, Valentini half a second off a big run downfield but for an early penalty given
man Jake Gordon's box kicks for touch are good. rushed, and still from 20m to 40 #AUSvNZL
beautiful exit with Jake Gordon's box kick there (45'), amazing distance #AUSvNZL
and in the 42nd minute a perfect example. 3 Wallaby attackers contest the defender, and go straight off their feet. that's what we've been used to, odd that Potter's was penalised
